Not many people give a mare her own page. However, we felt it was fitting as Bar Pat Nell (aka "Nellie") is a "first" for us. We totally fit her for her competition at the 1999 National Appaloosa Horse Show where she was awarded National Champion in Most Colorful at Halter. Harvey Stevens (Special Report's trainer in Reining and Working Cow Horse) led her in the ring. Nellie has competed very well in Halter with 296 1/2 points to her credit, a Bronze Medallion earner, a Superior in Open Halter Mares, and a Superior in Most Colorful at Halter. Nellie well deserves her own page! She is the utmost in our barn! **Click on the photo to view her extended pedigree. **Scroll down** |

Nellie was purchased from Tillman Ethridge of Ethridge Appaloosas when she was a yearling. From the time we first saw her, we adored her! However, it took Mr. Ethridge a while before he would turn loose of her. After we bought her and had her with us for a while, Mr. Ethridge told us that he decided to sell her because she wasn't filling out and was thin and all legs. However, to Mr. Ethridge's surprise, Nellie started growing and putting on muscle. Nellie accumulated most of her points with limited showing in the Texas and Oklahoma area. We went to one show in Arkansas, one show in Kansas, and one show in Missouri. Not only that, but the largest percent of the time it was usually one of us with the lead line in hand. What an exciting time we had showing her. She is a pleasure to show and super smart. Nellie is a 1996 liver chestnut near leopard. She is gorgeous and the sweetheart of our barn. |

After four years of showing, Nellie was tired and bored with it. She is now retired from the show ring and is a wonderful broodmare. Nellie has a fantastic disposition and personality. She loves kisses! Nellie's sire is Trivial Pursuit by Rimwold's Prince Paul. Nellie's dam is Impressive Nancy by Impressive (AQHA).
